About This Trail
A 2.2-mile loop climbing nearly 500 feet in less than a quarter mile to the crest of Sugarloaf Mountain, the peak depicted on Ohio’s state seal. The steep ascent through dense maple forest rewards hikers with open ridge views over the Scioto River Valley near Chillicothe, the state’s first capital.
